What's VMI?

VMI

Our Vendor Managed Inventory solutions are designed with you in mind. Our goal is to work together to streamline your manufacturing processes. With our VMI services, together we’ll determine an agreed-upon amount of inventory to be stocked on location and at ISSCO. We are committed to ensuring our inventories are reflective of our customer’s historical annual usage.

By eliminating the burden of purchasing fasteners on a daily basis and relying on ISSCO for your inventories, you in turn save money cutting less purchase orders, having routine stock-outs or shutdowns. You now have time to concentrate on greater, more progressive projects for your company.

Benefits of Our VMI Services:

  • Enhanced Delivery Performance ensures that your fastening needs are met on time, every time.
  • Consistent Product Flow so your industrial supply inventory stays consistent and fully stocked.
  • On-Site Storerooms to make it easy as possible for you to avoid fastening product stock-outs.
